What did you do with your Trans Am today?

This is a discussion on What did you do with your Trans Am today? within the Firebird / WS6 forums, part of the Vehicle Specific category; I would not get to hung up on the HP ratings when looking for clutches, the torque rating is the ...

I agree totally Scott my thinking is the LS7 is a stout motor and and I can guarantee there are Vette's out there with bolt on's and tunes and those clutches are holding up at track days and street pounding. My build will include a mild cam and heads eventually and my research told me a ls7 clutch would handle the load as it was a proven mod. If I ever go more than that I would step up

John what tranny did you go with is it a magnum? Is it close or wide ratio? I'm hoping to work a deal with a buddy who just won one in a contest and not sure yet what it is (close or wide) but I tried to do some research on it and don't have a clear mind on what would be best for a mostly street car and sometimes track car. You have any insite!

yes it is a t56magnum from D&D Performance. it is basically a tr6060 in a t56 case, It came with the pro tower shifter and the conversion yoke, it is all setup from them to drop in.

mine is a DD showcar that will have approx. 750 rwhp so I need a tranny that will handle it but also drives smoothly. I was sick of fighting the dreaded 2nd to 3rd shift! lol
